Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

Massive ice sheet on top of Greenland is losing nearly 300 billion tons a year to melting,

according to NASA estimates. And all that meltwater means rising seas.

But it's also dumping huge amounts of nutrients and minerals into Arctic waters.

And the great thing about glaciers and ice sheets is that they're like these big, very heavy systems.

And as they move over rock, they grind and crush the rock up.

John Hawking's, a glacial biogeochemist at the University of Bristol in the UK.

So they expose all these reactive kind of trace components of the rock lattice

to the fresh meltwater that's coming in.

All that meltwater funnels rock dust into Greenland's glacial rivers,

where Hawkins and his colleagues took their samples.

They found that Greenland's rivers are much richer in phosphorus

than previously believed, and they estimate that Greenland's glacial rivers may flush some 400,000

tons of phosphorus into ocean waters every year. That's on par with the amount of phosphorus dumped

into the ocean by the Mississippi or Amazon Rivers. The findings appear in the journal Global

Biogeochemical Cycles. All that extra phosphorus could be fertilizer for ocean life.

It's an essential nutrient for phytoplankton who are the guys on the bottom of the food chain.
